Singapore (Singapore)

Former Employee – worked at Oracle full-time for more than 3 years

ProsAccess to Oracle technology stack, good software development methodologies. Good career progression for software engineers going down the project management path.

ConsLarge organization. Very large. Talented technical contributors will find it easy to differentiate themselves from the rest, but hard to make a difference to the overall product quality.

Advice to Senior ManagementWithout your developers, you have no product. Compensate your IT staff better compared with the incentives provided to sales/marketing staff.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Oracle full-time for less than a year

Pros- Flexible schedule, not strict on amount of time spent in office
- Due to its huge portfolio of products, one may have the chance to get exposed to a wide range of IT software and applications
- Huge company, one may possibly have the chance to move internally if you can find the right connections

Cons- Unknown career development/progression
- Pay package is not competitive
- Too sales driven

Advice to Senior ManagementPlace more focus on grooming the employees in terms of career development and progression. Don't place emphasis solely on sales figures. Proactively find out what the employees feel and think.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
